Get Perfect 20/20 vision with HonsVR custom lenses for DJI FPV goggles!

[@theflyinggrip]

That throwback reaction was gold, pure gold. 😂 Great representation of the moment.

[@STEDDiEFPV]

I had laser eye surgery done last Wednesday and I’m very excited to see through the goggles again once my vision recovers from surgery!

[@nicholaskoenig1089]

What was your down time post surgery?

[@yatzeegamingop]

If you have high astigmatism, and don't have access to these kinds of products; you can buy a set of cheap prescripton glasses with flat lenses, pop the lenses and attach them to the goggles. Attaching them is hard but if you get it correct, it works perfectly.

[@GGoffroad2]

what you just glue them in oh how did you attach them?

[@yatzeegamingop]

@@GGoffroad2 designed 3d print parts. Outer shape fits goggle frame and inner circles fit the lenses. Tiny bit of hot glue at 4 points holds it really well.

[@MindRiderFPV]

I just got mine for the V2 goggles…what a difference for $50. No need to upgrade to Goggles 2 for now. Extended the life of the V2 for another 2 years at the least! Best $50 ever spent on FPV.

[@poastoast]

3:55 the holder for the frames are made using an SLS or MJF printing method, basically they take like a material in powder form and they either use a chemical binder or a laser to bond them together. it's very cool, pretty strong, and fairly cheap to produce!

[@bengineer_0013]

Looking at the surface texture, it's definitely SLS. And because SLS is very limited in material selection, it's probably some sort of Nylon.

[@nelsondcp]

So I know this won't be an option for everybody, but I have astigmatism and I found the best solution for me was disposable contact lenses. They also have the added benefit of you not having to fiddle with glasses, putting them on and taking them off as you use your FPV goggles.

[@ewaldwasscher7251]

I tried that, but for me with -1.75 and -2.25 astigmatism contact lenses hardly ever remain in the proper orientation for a longer period. As soon as they rotate my sight gets substantially worse. Therefore I prefer corrective lenses.

[@nelsondcp]

@@ewaldwasscher7251 the one issue I had was the goggles fan keeping your lenses from fogging up dry out your contacts. And then when you eventually remember to blink they get stuck to the inside of your eyelid :P :D not pleasant but I have learnt to consciously blink when I am flying. I have soft gel contacts and they do a good job of centering themselves and rotating to the correct orientation with a few blinks. My script is -3.23 and -5.5, pretty bad eyesight but contacts work for me.

[@Nkkdxn45j]

If you need a bigger positive correction (long sighted) the inbuilt adjustment often isn't enough anyway, regardless of astigmatism. It also isn't clear to me what adjustment you need for what type of goggles. I still use some quite old Skyzones without any adjustment. I was told at the time that I needed whatever dioptres would give sharp focus at 6 to 8 feet. That would have been +1.25 to +1.5 but actually I need more like +3 to +3.5, so the focussing point must be much closer than 6 to 8 feet - with those goggles, anyway. In the end I 3D printed some frames and cut lenses out from some Amazon cheapo glasses. They work absolutely fine - but I don't have astigmatism. However, if it isn't clear what strength lenses are really needed, it could be an expensive business to keep trying them out.

[@DailyKwadsFPV]

Josh can you please do a review on one of my favorite old drones called the, emax hawk pro, but if you do end up making a review can you buy the “PNP” and not the “BNF” version because I put an Expresslrs receiver in mine so, if you do end up making this video can you do the same and give me your honest review… also get the 6s version, trust

[@Sketchy_FPV]

Mate, that og reaction brought some memories back, thanks for including in the vid ))

[@MatthewTaylor3]

Folks with astigmatism, this option is NOT $49 when you enter your prescription, but it is still cheaper then RHO lenses.

[@Tomcat2_kanal]

When I bought Goggles Integra a few months ago, the first thing I did was going to the optics shop and let my eyes measured, as I have no dioptries but cylinders only. Then I ordered custom lenses at Honsvr and it works perfectly 😉

[@joshuas2716]

Thanks for the information. This is particularly useful for far-sighted people, like me. When the goggles have a range of +2 to -8, the +2 is not enough for me. So I have been hanging on to my old DJI goggles because because my glasses fit in them.

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

Why is it they only cater for negative index diopters. Most people become far sighted as they age. Is the race or ageism? 🤬

[@T418RC]

Bought lenses (Myopia) for The V2 from AliExpress injection molded plastic and felt similar to your old video reaction. Couldn't see sides clearly and that fixed the problem.

[@jasonjohnson7241]

This was one of the reasons I got the goggles 2, the focus adjustment. Thankfully I'm well within its limits at around -4 for each eye with no astigmatism so it works well. I wore contacts for a long time but as I've aged (54) I can't focus close in while wearing contacts anymore so I went back to glasses, progressive lenses to he accurate. Side note, what is that pad material you have on your Goggles 2, I've been trying to achieve better fitment. I have an aftermarket on and it works fine and is reasonably comfortable but if there's something better I'd like to try

[@JohnWhite84]

I can tell you as someone who had a rather bad astigmatism having LASIK was the best money I have ever spent!

[@seb-depp]

I love the V2 because I can wear my glasses inside. That's what I don't like about the Goggles 2 as my normal glasses don't fit. So I use older glasses and I have to switch them out. Quite a hassle. I'd prefer just to keep my glasses instead of having the right insets and having to remove my glasses.

[@christopherconkright1317]

Can you get just the astigmatism part

[@alexanderschmidt8443]

Great review - exactly what I was looking for. Thank a lot!

[@getout1238]

When you will get a review out for the Geprc TERN LR40? Seems like it's a quite good long ranger and it would fit my flying style

[@benleong2008]

How about contact lenses with astigmatism? Will it work?

[@Raif_Studios]

Hey Joshua, Do you plan on bringing another Tutorial about a FPV Selfbuild Freestyle Drone out for 2024 or should i go for the 2023 Version for Christmas next Year?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

It's a long time until Christmas 2024. I have no idea what will happen.

[@bsr3280]

Life-changing Lasik !!!!!!!!!

[@MollydogRadar]

I had SkyZone goggle that had + and - 6. I needed the +6 and they worked great. I see the DJI goggles only go to +2. I will have to get contacts to use these, or the HonsVR. How much are the HonsVR?

[@josehuerta7892]

I lost my DJI lens holder, where can I get replacement?

[@Galileocrafter]

I have similarly bad eyesight and have been thinking about getting contacts instead. Because when lifting off the goggles it’s impossible to see the quad for LOS flight.

[@MCsCreations]

Really interesting indeed! Thanks, Joshua! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy new year!

[@beavschannel5217]

Hey JB, whats the aftermarket foam you have on your Goggles 2, and how do you find them in the nose with it?

[@atkatsom8745]

is there already corrective lens available for the dji google 3? -8.5 diopter here hello :D

[@EnglishTurbines]

Im about a + 2.5....One of the things you failed to mention is the effect these lenses have on the Goggles IPD....By this, I mean the IPD range is REDUCED because of the lense frames, I think Im right, can you confirm..?...The last thing I want is a reduced IPD because ideally I need a bit more than maximum on my Walksnail goggles....🤔🤔😳😳🇬🇧

[@MindRiderFPV]

No, it is not, they attach on top of the lenses, at least in my V2s

[@EnglishTurbines]

@@MindRiderFPV I have Walksnail original Goggles, you have the latest?...🤔🤔

[@xredzzofficial]

Does anyone know the differences between HonsVR and Rho Lens? There is a price difference but is there more perceived quality?

[@XloMotion]

I'm - 1.75 both left and right so I can adjust the goggle 2 but the astigmatism just flares up the bottom right and left corners to the point that they're distracting and unreadable. I just moved my OSD to the top of the screen 😅😅😅😅

[@conorstewart2214]

On the lens inserts the 3D printed parts look like they could be SLS rather than resin. I don’t think resin would produce a texture like that, SLS however uses a powder and a laser to melt it hence the texture on the parts.

[@hundronezone]

I don't wear glasses, but I have to set the focus to -2 on the G2 to get a sharp image. Those who tried on my goggles also turned the focus to about -2. Has anyone else experienced this?

[@tomaszboril]

Same -2 and -1,75 on other one. But it differs from day to day in my experience. Sometimes my eyes are more tired from daily computers and exposure and other time during days off I dont even have to worry bout that. To my experience it is worse when I try to make sharp image per each eye with other one closed than both together open and focusing on. Thoughts?

[@hundronezone]

@@tomaszboril You are right, tired eyes also affect it to some extent, but 2 diopters? I do not think so...

[@tomaszboril]

@@hundronezone i mean sometimes i readjust -1,5 and days later back to -2 and so on. But way better than v2 for no eye tearing

[@hundronezone]

@@tomaszboril Yeah, I understand. However, I think the diopter scale of the G2 is not accurate.

[@MrCrowleyandhisdrone]

Great vid thanks, i have the v2 goggles and have to wear contacts but would rather not. Thanks again🙂

[@mikelbcn91]

Been using some like from aliexpress this for a year, and I see well. They're not premium quality, but they work, ane are quite cheaper. They don't offer astigmatism correction though, but I have only 0.25 so that's okay with me. They're a bit bulky and uncomfortable when my goggles are sitting on top of my head, but I don't think it can get any better. Would be curious to see if those are just a rebranding or if they're actually better than the ones that have been selling in aliexpress for so long, which feel plasticky

[@CDRaff]

Who signed your V2s?

[@Tadamagicsky]

Have them and love them 😊

[@inCarsoNatedFPV]

Thank you for the info Joshua!

[@_Dimon_]

Are there a company that makes diopter inserts for Skyzone 04x? Both HonsVR and RHO don't have 04X option.

[@RCSurf]

i just needed 1.25 reading lenses so i took out lenses from my reading glasses an used double sided foam tape to keep them in place

[@ChainsawFPV]

As someone that wears thick glasses, I can tell you finding diopters sucks. And they are expensive.

[@jondouglas7051]

JB must have come out of the womb with glasses on.

[@ChrisHarmon1]

I have perfect eyes, and all the goggles suck IMO. I can't imagine if I needed them to correct for my vision as well. I own goggles 2, HDZero goggles, walksnail v1, Walksnail X and have owned 04X and goggles v2. I have a set of 04X Pro's coming but so far the 04X had the best optics(lens not screen) with the goggles v2 ranking high, just wish I could've changed the gap easily for proper focal distance, add oled and it's "ideal" besides weight but I'm willing to trade off heavily for good optics.

[@londenard]

I've used this company and they were great.

[@GoodToGoIndustries]

Looks like they are anti-glare. You can tell by the green reflection when looking at the lenses.

[@TweakRacer]

Contact lenses?

[@bwabbel]

Idk why i watched this, i don't even need glasses xD still interesting to hear about the struggle of people who need them

[@noxnow]

Nice thumbnail!

[@wKich]

Isn't better to do laser eye surgery? Of course there are many cases when eye surgery might be not allowed. But in those cases, default goggles adjustments don't help anyway and you will need custom lenses

[@XloMotion]

Laser won't fix astigmatism or so I'm told.

[@wKich]

@@XloMotion yep, as default goggles adjustments won't

[@christopherconkright1317]

Goggles x don’t go as far as my v1 did the v1 are perfectly clear the x are clear but blurred

[@BrainDeadEngineering]

My optometrists said there is a new technology. A contact lens you sleep in . The contact lense re shapes your eye lense while you sleep , take them out when you get up and you have perfect vision for an average of 24 hours. Big bucks 😢. FML

[@bsr3280]

Lasik!!!!!!!

[@alperenozgur]

he was almost crying at fatshark part.. 🙄

[@martr]

Seems to me like Clickbait. "FPV Goggles" sounds like a generic solution. You wasted my time because I dont have any of the select few goggles which this product supports. Sort it out.

[@JoshuaBardwell]

Fatshark-style lens inserts can be bought from RHO-Lens (and others). I made a video about them a few years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6rKdGaMf5ugqLc There's only so much information that can fit into a title, unfortunately.

[@martr]

@@JoshuaBardwellor HDZero ?. You could have added the word "Some" before goggles. But perhaps there was insufficient space ?

[@JoshuaBardwell]

RHO-Lens also makes inserts HDzero, yes. Maybe the title would be better if it said, "For DJI FPV goggles".

[@macofish1]

Question is open to anyone. I had LASIK surgery but my sight was "maximized" for my computer monitor distance. So it did a great job there. I just got a Cetus Lite FPV kit VR02 goggles and can't see with them on my face. I have a gooseneck phone holder rigged up to hold it out in front of my face say six or so inches and it's clear. On my face is blurry. I also have a Quest 2 and have no issues whether it's near or far sighted. I know that's an apple vs orange; I don't know if it's those goggles or if ABC $500 goggles would have the same issue. My sister just had hers done but one eye is for distance the other near/reading.
